About the Buddhist Stupa (Chorten)

The Stupa (Tibetan: Chorten) is one of the most recognizable and sacred architectural forms in Buddhism. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, three main objects are often placed on an altar to represent the Buddha’s enlightened qualities: a statue (representing his Body), a scripture or text (representing his Speech), and a stupa (representing his Mind).

This piece is crafted in a highly ornate Tibetan inspired form, with layered tiers and dense detailing that create a striking devotional presence for your home shrine or meditation space.

Key Features

–> Authentic Craftsmanship: Handcrafted in Nepal by skilled artisans, featuring a gold plated finish, intricate surface work, and richly detailed stepped tiers.

–> Reliquary Design: Base opens for filling (sold empty) so you can add personal sacred contents and optional consecration, if desired.

–> Traditional Form: Ringed spire, decorative finial, and prominent curling side ornaments create a classic Tibetan style silhouette suited to daily practice and offerings.

–> Altar Essential: Placing a Stupa alongside a statue and a scripture creates the auspicious presence of the Buddha’s Body, Speech, and Mind. Ideal for altar shelves, shrine tables, or dedicated meditation areas.

–> Strong Altar Presence: With its tall profile and heavily ornamented base, this stupa has a bold visual presence that becomes a centerpiece for a shrine or practice space.

Caring for Your Stupa

–> Placement: Keep in a clean, dry location, away from direct sunlight or extreme humidity, to preserve the gold-plated finish.

–> Cleaning: Gently wipe the stupa with clean, dry cotton. Do not use water, polishes, or any cleaning chemicals, as these may damage the gold plating and fine details. Coarse materials or rough handling could dull or scratch the surface.

–> Stability: Place on a stable, flat surface to ensure the stupa remains secure and upright.

–> Handling: Lift from the base when moving; avoid pressure on the finial and spire.

–> Storage: If not displayed, store wrapped in soft cloth in a dry place to reduce tarnish and surface marks.
